PURPOSE: To assess the ocular blood flow in Diabetic and non-Diabetic Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) patients. DESIGN: Prospective comparitive study. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total 100 eyes of 50 POAG patients was included in the study and divided into two groups, Group 1 (25 POAG patients without Diabetes mellitus) and Group 2 (25 POAG patients with Diabetes mellitus). Colour Doppler Imaging (CDI) of Ophthalmic artery and Central retinal artery were studied and peak systolic velocity (V max), End diastolic velocity (V min) and Resistivity Index (RI) were assessed. RESULTS: Ocular blood flow in Group 2 showed a reduction in V max, V min and increased RI compared to Group I with a statistically significant reduction in the central retinal artery flow (V max (p=0.01), V min (p=0.07) and RI (p=0.03). CONCLUSION: CDI showed a significant reduction in the ocular blood flow of POAG patients with Diabetes mellitus.
